Change Log

hal-0.9.0 (18-06-2021)

  • This is the final crates-published release of gfx-hal. gfx-hal development was mainly driven by wgpu which has now switched to its own GPU abstraction: wgpu-hal. As such, gfx-hal will be in maintence mode until the story of gfx-portability is figured out. Read more about the transition in #3768.
  • MTL: Prevent accessing NSView on other threads.
  • Fix panics when android apps reopen.
  • Support dynamic array sizes on metal.
  • Added backend agnostic RenderDoc captures.
  • Allow initialization of gfx objects from raw handles.
  • Add missing features to the dx12 backend that are needed by wgpu.
  • Made PhysicalDevice::enabled_extensions public.
  • Added the ability to import formeign memory
  • GLES: Deferred deleting shaders until after linking
  • GLES: Fix texture views
  • GLES: Fix nearest neighbor filtering.
  • Assorted: Documentation fixes
